Nobody has loss? No, I don't give how 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.399 bad it is. I tell people all the time. One 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.160 thing you never see go out of business is a 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.800 liquor store, right exactly? They always do an insurance. Can 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:39.600 they burn it down? 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:40.800 Okay, no doubt. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.400 So this right here was where again I tell people 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.640 too at this they always ask me the question. Besides 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.080 me in my publisher, I own it, so I'm still 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.480 gonna make money for however long. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.840 It's right, yo, talking about that? How you feel about 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.880 these guys selling their catalog. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.520 I think the gods are selling their catalogs to Memphis. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.360 You got. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.760 You just happen to be fortunate not to be able to. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:15.320 But you're talking about the old or new either all 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.680 but the new. The new guys they know that it's 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.280 a lick to get money. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.000 They don't care about you know what's in the in 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.080 the back ahead, about them turning forty, and whether it's 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.520 not that and this, And then all of a sudden 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.520 you say, if you got a couple of million dollars, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.000 you know how fast it's been a million dollars quick, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:39.480 like like people don't look at it's immediately quick, gone gone, 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.479 you know, and then then if you ain't, if you 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.560 didn't people listen, you go, you go to prison because 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.559 you didn't file, not because you didn't pay. You didn't file, 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.680 so not even like you ducking that's why you get 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.479 in trouble at least file. But Uncle Sam is real. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.000 They're gonna always be there, so you're gonna have to 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.960 take care of them immediately. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.440 That money is not yours. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.360 So say if you've got a million, four hundred of 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.320 thousand dollars, it's not yours. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.599 That's right. So that's in New York though you're in 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:07.960 New York. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.159 I'm in Florida now I'm about two hundred of that 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.800 won't be yeah, exactly. 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.360 Right, right, so niggas told me to. So you've been 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.040 down there for two years? Now, are you gonna switch 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.120 this it over? I'm like, eventually I might do it, 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.440 but you know, we don't like Florida, Miami that too. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.360 But anyway, Texas, that's why people went to Texas. There 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.520 to Texas, Nevada. Right, So so but anyway, the million 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:35.440 dollars two can go quick quick. So then if I 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.840 sell my publishing right now, I have to wait whatever amount. 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.240 Of years for me to get getting it back, get 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:43.599 it back. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.600 But in the meantime, the money they gave me, maybe 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.240 it might last a couple of years. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.039 But now you don't get money for ten years. But 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.440 now my publishing check is not coming. That's right, you know. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.599 So me personally, I would never sell it. I won't 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.920 sell it. But you're fortunate too, So I ask the 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:01.960 question why. 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.159 The reason why is the young one wants the money 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:06.760 up front so he could do what he wanted to 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:11.040 do at the moment. The older one too needs that 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.720 money because stuff don't slow down or again, things ain't 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:16.080 the same. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.640 But I'm talking about even the guys who's selling the 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.960 publishing for one hundred million dollars. They caught that catalog. 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.200 I'm not mad like everything, I'm not mad. I would 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:29.680 never yeah, but bleak man, I would never. I understand it. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:35.000 But if you blow a hundred million dollars, oh it's possible, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.800 you know, to look at them, I know. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.800 But people got blueprints now, nigga, Like, what do you 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:42.880 actually need? 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.680 Mike said something that was prolific. He said. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.960 Once he stopped chasing the paper, he realized that more 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.479 money would get me a bigger car in a bigger house. 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.520 Can't do nothing else. I can't. I don't know. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.640 Once I take care of my face family because I 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.520 don't begre I can put the money away from my 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.320 family too. But also my life is shown and my 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.599 whatever I got and my publishing is theres too. But 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.000 my thing was though, bleak, you gotta go back though 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.720 one hundred man, you can leave it to your children. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.920 You're right, But you got a hundred million. You you're 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.920 saying you can spend it, but on. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.560 What it bet'll be businesses? Because shit, but what do 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.280 you need? Who? Me? Personally? 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.960 Somebody, some rich men said that if you have twenty minute, 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:31.840 twenty million liquid. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.440 Cash, you should be okay forever forever. That's right. So 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:36.000 why are you. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.240 Saying to me I would never sell it because me, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.440 I leave it to my kids, and my kids can 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.200 leave it to their kids. It's something that comes for 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.360 I got, I think about Mike Jack Got think about prints. 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.640 I know people like that's generational wealth. That one hundred million. 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.400 You know what if you don't do the right thing 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.559 where it won't be generation or it be right now 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:55.560 and listen convention. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.880 The wealth Listen, Bleak is nine years younger than me, 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.080 right or whatever it is you said. I was, so 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.440 now you're younger than me. So my thing what he 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:12.320 just said, y'all is very very prolific building wealth. How 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:13.440 White America does. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:15.280 Is like this. 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.040 If Oprah Rimpi is a billionaire, she's the only one. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.160 There's no wealth that she goes over. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.080 That's right. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.560 They, the rob Childs and everybody that you see, may 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.200 sees knows are too. There is generations that the money 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:35.280 flows down, so we would never be able to contend 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.800 with them because we don't have generations. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:39.920 So all of. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.360 Our billionaires, all of them, if they don't do this, 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:45.720 then there's. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.360 No generation wealth. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.559 So I understand what you mean by the pass down, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.760 but I thought the money too would give them the 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.080 pass down so they can be secure too.
